But in my opinion, it’s a million times better and truly not all that time consuming. Delicious? Oh yes! It isn’t as easy as opening a few bags of hash brown potatoes and mixing them with cream of chicken or mushroom soup. So one year I decided to venture out and make homemade cheesy potatoes from scratch. You’d think with that much cheesy casserole goodness there were sure to be leftovers right? Never. A triple batch if my firefighter brother-in-law Jeff was off call because these are his favorite. Anyhoo, whoever was in charge of making and bringing the cheesy potatoes, it was a known requirement to make a double batch. Obviously they’re deliciously perfect with ham and baked beans… but why not have them on a random day of the week or something? They are too good to tie down to just one day a year. On my mom’s side of the family cheesy potatoes were strictly for consumption on Easter.

But the adult in me is always excited about the food. I still enjoy dying eggs with my daughters and seeing them try to find them and their baskets (we hide those too). Now I look forward to the cheesy potatoes. As a kid I couldn’t wait to book-it down the stairs in my thin, purple house coat to find my Easter basket and hunt for hidden dyed eggs with my sisters. Looking for Homemade Cheesy Potatoes? Want recipe that doesn’t call for a can of condensed soup? This is it! No frozen bags of hash browns, zero cans of condensed soup… just a delicious from-scratch cheesy potato recipe.
